Leadership Temple is a premier leadership development and community survey program designed to cultivate and equip emerging and established leaders with the knowledge, connections, and insights needed to drive Temple and Central Texas forward.
This ten-month immersive experience offers firsthand insight into the inner workings of the community, providing participants with opportunities to build relationships with key stakeholders, engage in direct conversations, and experience interactive learning. Through site visits, discussions, and hands-on experiences, participants develop a comprehensive understanding of Temple’s economic, civic, and social landscape, preparing them to contribute meaningfully to the region’s long-term success.
Participants are required to complete four outside activities-attending a City Council and School Board meeting and completing two group service projects, one in the fall and one in the spring.
Equipped with a deeper awareness of their community and strengthened leadership skills, Leadership Temple participants graduate ready to make a lasting impact—whether in their workplaces, industries, or through civic engagement.
